What did you do to your subaru today?

got a pretty nasty ding in my hood. Probably a rock, but dang...its a doozy.

Oh well, im just greatful my car isnt a show queen and already has dings and nicks.

I havent yet decided if I will be doing a complete respray with bodywork in the future. If I do, aspen white here I come.

 

put on my full exhaust yesterday. borla headers borla catback. the sound is absolutely amazing thanks Brandon!! couldnt be happier

rubelzz at last ftmfw!

 

Bought a $2.50 clearance rack shift knob (blinky blue LEDs FTW) from Checker as a temporary until I can get a decent knob+boot from someone's NASIOC part out.

Auto-to-manual tranny swap on Friday!!

 

OOOOOHHHH! You gunna bring it over this weekend?!? I'd really like to hear how the borla sounds - almost bought their headers last month.

 

yea i will. but. i can only help you friday. im leaving for AZ saturday morning for 4 days but then ill be able to help you with the left over things like putting your car back together and stuff when i get back in town. i forgot to tell you that, sorry man. but i will be over friday forsure.

 

No worries, man - any help is better than no help. Should be straight into tearing out the auto on Friday. I'll start as early as anyone wants to come over.

 

Debadged SUBARU and Impreza off my new sti trunk. Cant decide if I wanna take off the WRX and or the STI. I kinda like it the way it is now but I cant decide.

 

Mud Flaps!!! I feel like a moron because they took me forever to install Also, does anyone know the sizes of the long and short screws they use? I'd like to get black instead of the silver...seems like that's how they should've come.

EDIT: So, I did some researching on if any other rally armours came with black hardware and found something dame interesting!!! You use the longs screws for the sideskirt hole now...not the short!!! WTF...you'd think they would change that in their directions!!! That explains why I had 1 extra long screw and 2 fewer short ones.

On with the pictures (wasn't expecting it to be dark out when I finished ) If you put your face right up to the monitor and squint...then you can see them!

 

give it a little time and driving and you will never know the screws were silver.

 

oh ya, I suppose huh? Smart man!

 

+1 I dont even think I have screws holding mine on anymore.


I drove to school and back again today, like I do everyday. Had a little bit of fun hitting redline in 1st gear and slamming 2nd merging onto the 35w/94w ramp thing but there was a big blue cloud behind me :-( . then got stuck going like 10mph under the speed limit the whole way home (30 miles...)

 

Wait...how are you flaps being held on then? Also, a cloud of blue...did you flap explode or something?!?!

 

I installed my new HID's. DDM tunnings kit was very simple to install.

 

Did some pulls with sjwelna trying to figure out my boost spike.

 

Put on a different exhaust 3" straight through!!!

 

oh oh oh what kind?!?!? hks ti?!?!?

 

You'll have to wait till Friday night pretty boy ... but no not that. The SPT is off.

 

i can not make it friday night...i works til 11 party at 3riks saturday?!?

 

Party at my house the same night well looks like you'll here it at MAP :yumyum:

 

hahhaha im stoppin by your house for a bit too hahaha dave invited me....and you haz to hear the my new rubles too!!!!!

 

^Sounds good man, yeah your more than welcome!

 

Colin came over and we replaced my front rotors, and swapped my rear pads from HPS to HP+ today. No more clunking/crunching brakes!

Then I proceeded to enjoy the twisty gravel stuff.

P.S. Thanks again, Colin!

Still not sure if the squish I heard while bedding in my brakes is from the brake fluid reservoir, or my struts... only done it twice, both times while braking. The other time was at the last rallycross while pulling up to the start line. Hmm...

 

I pretty much sold it.

 

full folding rear seats in a wrx sedan FTMFW!!!!!

 

Is that custom??? do tell?

 

yeah it is...just need the seat back from a wagon, then just finding places for the seatbelts and latches

 

discovered my fender lips are chewed to **** from gravel. so I cleaned the rust off, applied some rustoleum primer and tomorrow I'll put some truck bedliner on the lips and maybe 1/8" up around the fender arch

 

^ I've thought about doing that myself. Rhino Liner like whoa

 

Exhaust Rev5. She's straight-thru again, and even quieter. I r happy.

 

Drove it home from LSPR

 

finally put it back together and a put new turbo on

 

repainted it and bed liner'd the fender wells

 

TPIWWP (this post is worthless without pics)

 

all you get for the time being :hsugh:

edit, i suppose i can show my club support too

 

Installed V4 STi seats

 

installed an autometer boost gauge and replaced the tmic to bpv gasket.

 

I waxed mine yesterday. also ordered some winter floor mats

 

Was it leaking? I was under the impression that it was a rubber gasket or something so it could be reused....

 

Nice buick.

Also: lol Canadian camo

 

It can be reused but when I installed the Sti tmic I bent it up and it was split between the layers so it prolly did leak. Its not rubber though its metal with some rubbery stuff on it.

 

I took care of my fender rock chip issues tonight. cleaned, masked, sanded, cleaned, bedliner (I had previously sanded all the rust off and primered with rustoleum) now I just have to deal with the massive gouges down my rear doors lol.

 

ah that is way to familiar in my mind

 

Swapped the tranny from a 4EAT to a 5MT. Woot!!

 

Got very very close to firing my new rebuild motor up... Found a pin sized hole on the oil pan... Tomorrow hopefully!
